VERTICAL SUNDIAL
Vertical sundial. Since the dawn of our civilization, man has had the need to measure time, the interval between two moments.
As early as the Neolithic, we find a monument, the “Stonehenge Stone Circle” in England, built for the observation of the stars and, consequently, for the measurement of time based on the position of the sun in the sky.
This type of wall sundial was widely used since the Middle Ages, not only because it served to measure time, but also as an architectural ornament in cathedrals and public buildings. Later, its use became widespread in private buildings, mansions and castles and which still exist and can be seen today.
This sundial is designed to be attached to a wall whose orientation must be SOUTH, in order to ensure its correct operation. The rod or gnomon that accompanies it has to be screwed in all the way, once the sundial has been placed on the wall.
This model, made of artificial stone and resin, is an exact reproduction of the one currently in Strasbourg Cathedral. It was made in 1493 and is known as “L´Astrolgue du Cadrain Solaire”.
